Maybe this sounds familiar

  • You’ve done the classes, downloaded the apps, followed the YouTube videos. And you’re still not sure any of it is actually doing anything.

  • You walk into a gym and feel completely invisible. Or completely out of place.

  • You know you “should” be strength training, but honestly? You don’t even know what that means for your body right now.

  • You’re on a GLP-1, and you know you need to protect your muscle mass. But knowing that and knowing what to actually do about it are two very different things.

  • Deep down, there’s this voice that says maybe you waited too long. Maybe women like you just aren’t “fitness people.”

Personal training that fits your life

Built Around You

I design every workout for your body, your goals, and where you are right now. No one-size-fits-all programs. No guessing.

A Coach Who’s Been There

I built my own strength from the same starting point. I coach from real experience, backed by education in fitness programming and coaching women’s bodies.

Strength You Can Feel

This isn’t about aesthetics or hitting a number on a scale. It’s about feeling capable, confident, and at home in your body.

“I know what it feels like to want to take control of your health but have no idea where to begin. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, unsure, and overwhelmed by it all. I’ve been that woman. That’s exactly why I do this.”

Here’s how it works

01
Book a free consultation

Tell me about your goals, where you’re starting from, and what’s getting in your way. I’ll help you identify a path forward, on your terms.

02
Get your custom plan

I’ll build a training program around your life, your body, and your goals. In-home or online, whatever works for you.

03
Start getting stronger

Show up and follow the plan. The strength shows up outside your workouts first: all the groceries in one trip, stairs without a second thought, your carry-on into the overhead bin like it's nothing. That's what we're building. I'll be with you every step.

You deserve a coach who gets it

I believe every woman deserves to feel powerful in her own body, no matter when she starts. I understand what it’s like to stand at the beginning and feel completely lost, because I’ve been there myself. That’s why I built a coaching practice around meeting you exactly where you are.

Without a plan, it's easy to spend years working hard and still wonder whether any of it is building anything. That's the part I hate most. Your effort should count for something.

With a custom strength training program designed for your body, your life, and your schedule, you stop guessing. In-home in Bellingham, WA or online wherever you are, you start noticing what you can do.

"I thought it would be scary and awkward and intimidating to work with a 'personal trainer'. Christy doesn't work like that."

Questions you might be asking

  • Not at all. Most of my clients are starting from scratch or starting over. I meet you exactly where you are.

  • That’s one of the most common things I hear. I’ll teach you everything from the ground up. You don’t need to know anything going in.

  • No. I work with all women over 35 who want to get stronger and feel more confident in their bodies. I do have specialized experience for women on GLP-1s, but it’s not a requirement.

  • Every session is different because every client is different. Progressive strength training is the foundation. We also build in mobility, conditioning, and balance work so you're not just getting stronger. You're moving better, feeling better, and building a body that holds up. I coach you through every movement.

    Learn more about how we train.

  • I offer both in-home training in the Bellingham area and online coaching. Whatever fits your life better.

  • I’ve been the woman my clients are right now. I didn’t grow up athletic. I found strength training later in life, and it changed everything for me. I coach from that experience, backed by certifications in personal training and comprehensive program design. I'm a Certified Women's Coaching Specialist through Girls Gone Strong, which is built entirely around coaching women rather than treating us as a smaller version of the default.

  • Collaborative, honest, empathetic, and straightforward. I’m here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.

  • Pricing depends on which program fits you best. You can see all the details on my Services page, or we can talk through it in a free consultation.

  • Well, I’m not one. I didn’t build this business on a six-pack (never had one) or a before-and-after photo. I built it on knowing what it actually takes to go from feeling lost to feeling strong. I look like the women I coach, and I think that matters more than looking like a fitness influencer.
